NOVEL NEXT Chapter 57: Resting
Having Ye Chen share a hall with her, Chu Yanran also felt somewhat strange.
However, the old lady was critically ill. Although her condition had improved since Ye Chen's arrival, Chu Yanran still feared an unexpected turn of events, so she had Ye Chen stay over for the night in case there was an emergency requiring care.
For some reason, Chu Yanran had a blind confidence in Ye Chen, this man gave her a sense of security that she had long missed.
"Alright then, I'll just make do here tonight for the sake of taking care of the old lady," Ye Chen nodded.
Ye Chen, for his part, didn't think much of it, the old lady's condition was indeed grim. Staying here did indeed save him the trouble.
"Hmm, it's already very late, get some rest," Chu Yanran said, leaving these words behind as she returned to her room.
The next day, at seven in the morning.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the soft couch, took a deep breath of Innate Qi, then suddenly exhaled a visible white Qi arrow from his mouth. Instantly, the room seemed to experience a gust of wind, flipping over some miscellaneous items placed around the room.
Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a divine light flashed in them and then faded, marking the end of his night's cultivation.
However, he had been in a state of fake sleep while cultivating, which made him feel refreshed and vibrant after a night of cultivation.
In fact, after becoming a Martial Arts Master, his body's genes had been greatly enhanced, turning him into a being akin to a superman, and he wouldn't feel tired even if he didn't rest for three to five days.
"I've already reached the early peak, just one barrier away, and I can break through to the Mid Grandmaster Stage!" Ye Chen felt the powerful True Qi inside his body, that swelling sensation growing stronger; he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
When Ye Chen was in the Huabei Military Region, he was considered only a half step from Grandmaster, but after retiring, his mind became a lot more relaxed, naturally advancing him into the ranks of Grandmasters, standing at the absolute peak!
Shortly after his breakthrough to Grandmaster, he received a challenge letter from that martial arts titan, and so far, he had remained in the early stage of Grandmaster for a year. Even an immediate breakthrough would be just the natural course of things—his foundation was very solid.
"My Grandmaster foundation is incredibly solid. Once I make a breakthrough to the Mid Grandmaster Stage, I must find a way to concoct a batch of Strength God Elixir to assist in my cultivation, making rapid progress!"
In three years, he would face that titan in a duel. If Ye Chen continued to cultivate at a steady and gradual pace, he would certainly not be a match for that titan. Therefore, he had no choice but to rapidly enhance his strength through external means. Fortunately, his foundation was incredibly solid, and using medicinal pills to break through wouldn't cause his True Qi to become unstable.
"Today I shall completely cure the old lady, severing this bond with them. Being entangled with the Heavenly Destitute Star, in the end, will only lead to disaster!"
Ye Chen tidied up his clothes and then opened the room's door, only to see Chu Yanran already busy in the living room.
